I wonder how they are going to do style ranking. Go back to dmc4's score system. For those that don't know the scoring for that game was combo points, time, and orbs collected. The reboot did the same thing minus the orbs, and your score is based on how many Collectibles you got before the end of the stage. If you got all them all Souls that it was an automatic S rank for that criteria.

Hmm I know its a demo but I feel like L1 will be devil trigger (as it has been) with L2/R2 being other things like Nero's time stop move. Do wonder if they will make sprinting you click the thumbstick for now, along with adding quick item use to the Dpad (For Nero anyway)

@dmcmaster I have a funny feeling Nero won't get his devil trigger until halfway in to his campaign. Remember, his arm got sliced off. L1 will be probably be similar to Lady's explosive gauge in DMC4: SE.

Sprinting should be automatic like they did for 4's updated version. I highly doubt they'll do that stupid upgrade where you can get more orbs faster again. They should do what DmC and Bayonetta did, and have your combat currency atomically come towards the player.

Both videos are so far the best showcases of gameplay of someone being good or decent at the game. I didn't bother with the Gamespot one, because whoever was playing; were acting like it's DMC2 at the last 2 or 3 minutes.

A couple of things I called (spoilers for those that liked to be surprised):

* Slow-mo kill at the end of a fight just like DmC or Bayonetta freeze frame.

One more time, baby! Some more footage of the same stuff, but someone actually pulling off SS and SSS combos. Though for some reason, the game gives him all A rankings, despite not using auto-mode (I neglected to mention this on the IGN video) or barely taking any damage. Taunts are also back!

just found a 4chan "leak" about DMC5 dated a few weeks ago that so far seems pretty damn accurate.
Although most interesting is that DMC1-4 getting a singular collection (which would be nice to have a physical copy of DMC4SE without having to import coming to everything including Switch, and oh Dante joining Smash and Bayonetta 3 (as a extra boss apparently)
